You shouldn't turn it off OR put it to sleep. Just turn off your monitor and leave it. If you don't want to foot the energy bill... well then, that's another story."Well you can just leave it on, but a) it's uneconomical and b) it's not ecological...I can understand that some people don't want to wait 15 seconds every morning for their computer to start up, but leaving it running all night is not exactly beneficial for the environment either...That's why I think sleep is a good compromise: You don't have to wait for the boot-up AND you're saving valuable resources (to a degree at least)...Just my 2 (€) cents</blockquote>
